Aldi is hoping to hire dozens of people in Swindon by the end of the year.

The supermarket giant is offering 60 jobs, including full-time and part-time roles, at the town’s regional distribution centre.

This comes after last month’s announcement that the retailer was recruiting for more than 70 store staff roles in Wiltshire, including shop assistant and shop manager positions.

The recruitment push forms part of Aldi’s nationwide expansion drive, with the supermarket set to open an average of one new store a week across the UK between now and Christmas.

It currently has five branches in the Swindon area, and the distribution centre is based on Wellington Road.

Recruitment director Kelly Stokes said: “As we continue to grow and attract new shoppers, we need even more amazing colleagues at our distribution sites to make everything possible.

“As well as healthcare and lifestyle perks, being a part of the Aldi team means a great working environment.

“With it being an exciting time for the business, there are also real opportunities to progress.”

Most of the available distribution centre roles are warehouse selectors, which receive a minimum rate of £13.18 an hour.

The highest available salary is £16.99 per hour.
